Dear “It’s Always Sunny,”
What happened to you?
We used to have so much fun together and now you’re listless, mediocre, uninspired, and you’re bringing a baby in to the fold? We used to have kicks with one another with episodes involving armed robbery, fake news reporters, dance contests, and the like all of which brought me to my knees with laughter, and this year you’ve just been slacking off.
I attribute it to Dee’s pregnancy and the actress behind it who have sadly decided to bring in the baby nonsense to the show instead of waiting it out and coming back when she’s had the child. Don’t you know that bringing babies in to series is just a death knell?
It’s the surefire sign from writers that they’ve run out of ideas so they’re resorting to riding on cute points. And no matter how offensive you get toward the idea of parenting, you’re still going to be relying on a baby to bring you to more seasons. Why are you doing this to us? You were the anti-sitcom, the anti-Seinfeld, and now you’re relying to horrible sitcom cliches to compile a gimmick to keep audiences coming back for more.
Who is Dee’s mystery father of her baby? “Friends” did that. You’re not “Friends”! Could you be anymore desperate? We forgave you for the unnecessary casting of Danny DeVito who continues to be unfunny as Frank, the fifth wheel in a great ensemble that didn’t need additions and now a baby? Are you kidding?
I’m sorry, but I think we’ll have to part ways for a while. At least we had fun.
I’ll call you another time when the baby is out of the picture and you get back to making me cry with laughter.
